Pros

9-to-5 and weekdays work schedule, can refuse to do work without repercussion. Low stress because management is satisfied being #5 in the cable/satelite industry. If you are unable to track project budgets well, this place is for you because the budgets are guess-work.

Cons

If you have ambition to achieve or work for top-tier company, you will be frustrated here. Project financial management is so unorthodox, it really isn't managed. Good place to learn what NOT to do because that's the "best practice" at Cox Communications. Union mentality, 9-to-5, weekdays only, no competitiveness to be #1 company in industry, job security contributes to lack of competitiveness, good talent leaves company leaving the less talented to be promoted (Peter's Principle survives well here), penny-pinching company.

Pros

You can make a decent paycheck if your willing to work hard and are ok working long hours including, weekends and holidays. Depending on what type of neighborhood you work in, the tips can be pretty good.

Cons

Poor communication from management to workers Policy changes are frequent and spontaneous. Overall organization is poorly maintained or managed and common sense solutions are ignored.
